Another winter storm is wreaking havoc

KOB-TV in Albuquerque reports that a nasty winter storm has closed all or parts of Interstate 40 from the Duke City to the Texas line, but police are allowing some local traffic on Route 66.

Eastbound traffic is being stopped at Tramway Boulevard in Albuquerque, and unlike the last storm, Route 66 is only open to local traffic through the Tijeras Canyon, closing those drivers’ main alternate route.
